New Mexico licenses nonprofit business to produce marijuana for medical uses

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The New Mexico Department of Health has licensed a nonprofit business to produce medical marijuana, the first business approved under a state program that allows patients with specified conditions to have and use small amounts of marijuana.

The department refused Wednesday to release the name of the business or where it is located, citing safety concerns.

Department spokeswoman Deborah Busemeyer said the name is being withheld to ensure that the supply is safe and that patients visiting the producer would not be put in jeopardy.

"We don't want a producer to be robbed," she said.
